The case of the people vs. Joseph Allen
was given to the jury at noon on Thursday
last. After being out an hour and half
the jury returned into court and rendered
verdict of guilty of murder in the second
degree. On motion of counsel for the re-
spondent, ten days were granted by the court
in which to move for a new trial, the SEN
tence being suspended during such time.
The verdict gives general satisfaction, the
opinion of the public being like that of the
respondents counsel at the trial of Charles
Allen the son, who was convicted at the last
January term, that the father was really the
most guilty party, and that Charles would
never have done the shooting, had he not
been melted thereto by the father.
The result hinged largely on the testimony
of the witness Freeman Hough, who testified
that, Immediately before the shooting, the
father said to the son, "Shoot the -
-w Mr.. Tabor, who defended, made q
desperate effort to discredit Hough's testi-
mony, but the jury evidently believed it. as
did all the spectators who were present and
heard it. Joe Allen was once before tried
for shooting man at Grand Junction and
ought to have been convicted, but escaped
his just deserts. No regrets will be felt that
such was not the result in the present case
but, on the contrary. il will be cause for
congratulation that the respondent has at
last been overtaken by justice and will pro-
badly be sent to the states prison, where
his son Charles is "doing time" for the same
terrible crime.

Seeding Peaches.

Mr.. c. C. L. Dill of Dillburg, Ala, writes
to the Home and Farm that Alabama is a
fine fruit growing State, and says word
about grating peach trees. He insists that
grating never has, and never can, improve
the peach We want new and improved
varieties, and to get them we must plant
the seed. Noone claims that a small, knotty
inferior Seeding is more hardy than the
very best varieties grown. On the con-
trary. they are not as hardy, and whether
hardy or not they should be cut down just
as soon as they come in bearing-in fact,
they should never have been set out, for figs
do not grow on thistleS, and knotty, inferior
peaches, as rule, do not grow on thrifty
trees, and none but the most thrifty trees
should ever be set in an orchard. We had
in this part of Alabama as fine peaches as
can be found anywhere until the tree ped
der made his appearance, but since then
our orchards have gradually gone down.
Some say this is due to buying trees raised
in a higher latitude, and am willing to ad-
nit that his has had much to do with it, but
not half as much as buying grated trees. Is
there any good reason why we can not i'm
prove our fruit by selecting our seed the
same as we do corn, cotton, etc! Ii
there is, we would be very glad to know it,
